Soon after, the people of Huwei Village came to the place of sacrifice. At this time, there were already a lot of half-orcs and spirit beasts here, and they all had beast tooth necklaces around their necks. Among them, there are also some humans, who, like the wind and the party, have colored clay on the right side of their faces.

Although there are a lot of people here, it is unusually quiet, and there is not a word to be heard, only a little wind is heard. The group was thinking about what the chief and his wife had told them to do on the way.

In the end, they summed it up, that is: don't move, what the people of Huwei Village do, do it yourself. The important point is that just bend down and never kneel.

The place where the sacrifice takes place is called the Suzaku Sanctuary, and I heard from the chief that this is the place where the guardian beast Suzaku used to practice. But this is also a handed down statement, and the authenticity needs to be investigated.

In the center of this Suzaku Sanctuary, there is a huge Suzaku statue. It was standing on one leg with its wings outstretched, as if it was about to take off. However, it was such a simple action, but it still revealed an aura that belonged to a divine beast. That look, not angry and self-assured, made people feel a sense of awe from the bottom of their hearts.

Around the Suzaku Holy Land, there is a high platform, and in the middle of the high platform there is a strange totem in a different direction, all of which are facing the Suzaku statue. There was a large space on the high platform, and there were a number of masked men, one of whom was clearly dressed as a priest.

"Whew-"

Suddenly, there was a trumpet sound from all sides, and this trumpet became louder and more solemn. At this time, the expressions of the people present became a little more solemn.

The sacrificial ceremony officially began.

"Knock knock knock knock knock knock knock - "

Then, there was a series of drums, which became stronger and stronger, and made people feel inspired.

After beating the drum nine times, the sound of the horn and the drum sounded at the same time, and the rhythm was exactly the same. At this time, everyone present began to face the Suzaku statue, and a priest-like person near the Suzaku statue also began to wave the staff in his hand.

When the rod began to dance, the priest began to dance. The movements of the dance were a little weird, at least the wind and the others couldn't understand the strange movements.

At the same time, the priests on the four platforms around them also began to wave the staff in their hands, exactly the same as the priest in the middle, but in a different direction.

As the staff flew, a little spark began to appear on the tip of the staff. The light of the fire grew bigger and bigger as the dance progressed, and it seemed that it would soon become very vigorous.

When the dance is over, the middle sacrificial staff stands upright on the ground, and at the top is a flame, the flame is not large, but it burns fiercely. The staff of the four priests around them stood diagonally on the ground, the top pointing towards the Suzaku statue, and each of them had a flame on it.

At this moment, the sound of drums and horns around them suddenly stopped, and all the orcs present put their hands on their chests and prayed. At the same time, bow your head slightly. Seeing that they had made a move, Feng Yan and his party immediately did so.

At this moment, the flames on the surrounding sacrificial rods suddenly broke away from the rods and flew towards the Suzaku statue in the middle, infusing the two wings and the twin clans of the Suzaku statue respectively.

At this time, a miraculous thing happened, the original gray Suzaku statue turned red except for the neck and head, and flames appeared on the surface.

Immediately afterwards, the flames on the priest's staff near the Suzaku statue also broke away from the rod and poured into the head of the Suzaku statue.

At this time, Feng Yan and his party only felt that the temperature around them was getting higher and higher, and it seemed that the entire Vermilion Bird Holy Land was burning. Moreover, in the direction of the Suzaku statue, a powerful aura appeared.

Everyone just thought it was strange, so they peeked at it a little. Then they saw something even more magical.

At this time, all the Suzaku statues turned red, and their whole bodies burned with flames. No, to be precise, there is no Suzaku statue anymore, only a giant flame bird can be seen, which is spreading its wings and seems to be about to rise into the sky.

And then...... The Flame Bird really flew. I saw that with a wave of the giant bird's wings, all the flames broke away from the Suzaku statue and became the Suzaku Flame, staying above the Suzaku statue.

After a while, the flame Suzaku suddenly let out a chirp. All the orcs raised their hands at this moment, and then slowly knelt down. The other spirit beasts tried to lower their bodies as much as possible, and those who could stick to the ground were close to the ground, and those who could not be close to the ground bowed their heads.

Seeing this, Feng Yan and his party immediately did so. Just when they almost knelt down, they suddenly remembered that they didn't have to kneel, and immediately stopped it. Eventually, they stood with one hand on their chests and half-bent over.

At this moment, the flame Suzaku began to move. It is centered on the Suzaku statue and begins to fly in circles from the inside out. During the flight, a red gem will be dropped from time to time, which is a "Suzaku gift" and is said to be a symbol of luck only for those who are chosen.

When the Flame Suzaku flew to the last point, it quickly disappeared. Then, the surrounding altars and the other masked people in the middle began to dance. The other orcs bowed three times to the Suzaku statue.

Then, the first ritual of sacrificing Suzaku ended.

When the dance is over, the second sacrifice to the gods of nature begins. It is said that this was organized by the spirit animals to thank nature for giving them a suitable environment to live in, and this god of nature has a higher status than Suzaku.

At this moment, everyone turned around and faced the Sihe altar, and the priests of the four directions also began to face the totem and began to dance. At the same time, the sound of trumpets and drums sounded again, but not as powerful as before, but with a sense of heaviness.

Then, the other masked people began to dance. At this time, all the orcs slowly knelt down as before. Kneeling on the ground for a while, after receiving the instructions of the sacrifice, the people slowly got up again.

After getting up, he prayed and stood quietly for a while. Then, continuing to raise his hands, he slowly knelt down again. In this way, after repeating it nine times, the crowd stopped.

At this time, the dance stopped, and the sound of drums and trumpets that had been ringing came to an abrupt end. Then, the five priests knelt before the four totems and the Suzaku statues, and made some incomprehensible sounds. It's not the sound of beasts, it's not the language of men.

When the priest got up, the sacrifice was officially over.

However, this is only the official end of the sacrifice, not the end of the entire sacrifice activity. Next, there will be performances prepared by each tribe, and there will be a certain degree of communication between the tribes.

In short, the next thing is the grand meeting of the tribes.

The official festival is over, and everyone is much freer. As guests, the group once again felt the enthusiasm of the local spirit animals. In particular, the beast tooth necklace on the thunderstorm has attracted a lot of attention.

Although thunderstorms have been explained repeatedly, the speed of his interpretation has not kept up with the speed of propagation. And although everyone understands, they still make fun of it.

After a half-day of friendly exchanges, the festival officially ended.
