Volume 1 Entering the Qilin Chapter 58 Worshipping Ancestors
The elite team is the last to return, and the higher-level soul beasts are not so easy to hunt, and they know how to escape even if they can't be beaten. However, under the leadership of Ji Yushan, this hunt was quite fruitful.
Except for the elite team, the ordinary teams will report their team's harvest to Ji Hao, and the points of each team will be counted by Ji Hao himself. That night, the injured rested early to recuperate, and the others gathered in threes, fives, and fives, telling each other about their experiences, eating meat, drinking wine, and celebrating their safe return. The next day is the most important day of the year for the Kirin Clan, except for the sacrifice of all gods.
Early in the morning, the village was lively, and almost everyone gathered in the huge square where the statue of the unicorn was located, with all the people surnamed Ji standing in the middle of the field, and relatives with foreign surnames lined up on both sides.
Ji Hao stood on the platform under the statue of the Qilin God with a solemn face, "Today is the day for my Qilin clan to worship their ancestors, in the hunting operation that ended yesterday, the results of our clan are far better than last year, all of which are inseparable from everyone's joint efforts." However, in this operation, there are still two young people who have left us forever, they are Ji Xiaoyu and Ji Cheng, they also sacrificed for our clan, and all the compensation is according to the previous standards. I know that many of you still wonder why you should let young people take risks, even if only the elite team participates in the hunting operation, they can feed the whole clan. However, the situation of our clan is far from being as optimistic as everyone thinks, it has long been a green and yellow, the older generation is getting old, and the future of the Qilin clan is still that of you young people, if you have been hiding under our protection all along, you will only grow into docile lambs, and you will not be able to gain a foothold in the wilderness! That's why even though accidents happen every year, the elders and I have never objected to young people joining the hunt. ”
Everyone in the audience fell into deep thought, the Qilin clan has long since lost its glory, and the vast majority of people understand the painstaking efforts of the patriarch and elders. But what about the understanding of the bereaved families, who are still in endless grief.
I saw Ji Hao wave his hand, and three huge stone tablets rose from the ground in front of the unicorn statue. Among the three steles, the first stele has the least name on it, the second stele is second, and the third stele is densely filled with Ji surnames and foreign names.
Every year, Ji Hao will introduce three new stone tablets," This first stele is engraved with the names of the patriarchs, elders and people who have made significant contributions to the Qilin clan; this second stele is engraved with the names of our ancestors and the core figures of the deceased clan; this third stele is the most special, engraved with the names of the people who sacrificed to protect you and me in the face of great difficulties in the Qilin clan, including the Ji family, and there are also many relatives with foreign surnames, you and I should never forget them, it is they who sacrificed their lives to keep the fire of the Qilin clan to this day. ”
Several huge copper tripods have already been placed in front of the stone stele, Ji Hao and the five elders including the great elder, each lit a huge incense, inserted in the copper tripod, six people took the lead in kneeling on both knees, and then thousands of children surnamed Ji also knelt down, and performed the most respectful three kneeling and nine bows, as for the people with foreign surnames who watched the ceremony, there was no mandatory requirement, but there were also many people who received the great grace of the Ji family took the initiative to kneel and worship.
Ye Xiao sat in a wheelchair with a solemn face, these three stone tablets are engraved with all the past of the Qilin clan, there is pride and pain. Where the stele is, there is the clan. This is the ancestor worship ceremony, and more solemn than this is the sacrifice to the gods after a period of time, the wild world is different from the earth, the totem god here is real, is the reason why the clan exists and develops the foundation, so the status is still above the ancestors, so there is a special god sacrifice.
After the ancestor worship is over, it is the turn of the day to announce the results of the hunt.
"This hunt is the same as in the past, all teams will hand over items of equal value to the clan according to the amount of two points per person, which will be used by the clan in winter, and the rest will be distributed by themselves. However, the top three teams need to hand over half of the points they have earned to the clan, and the remaining half will be distributed by themselves. Ji Hao said loudly.
Ji Xiaocao had returned to Ye Xiao's side from the crowd, her eyes were red, because there was no name of her mother on the three stone tablets, and carving her mother's name on the stone tablets was her greatest wish in this life.
Ye Xiao knew Ji Xiaocao's mood at the moment, and changed the topic and asked: "Xiaocao, why do the top three teams have so many points for diplomacy? I knew that we should have underreported in this way, I feel that we have lost a lot..."
Ji Xiaocao held Ye Xiao's wheelchair and explained: "In order to encourage each team to continue to practice after completing the basic goals, rewards are set for the top three teams in points. But you also know the current situation of the Qilin clan, in order to try to return to the cost, the points of the top three teams will be charged extra. In fact, you can also understand that you have redeemed points for rewards, but only the top three teams are eligible for this. ”
"Looking at their positive appearance, what is this reward?" Ye Xiao asked curiously.
Ji Xiaocao's face was much better, "It's the 'Qilin Divine Blood', a precious thing that the Qilin Divine Venerable gave to my clan a long time ago. ”
"Qilin Divine Blood, what's the use?"
"Its effect is three, the most dissolved drop of divine blood in water, used in a medicinal bath can strengthen the body, the second is to eliminate the curse, the unicorn is an auspicious beast between heaven and earth, its blood effect is extraordinary, a drop of unicorn divine blood can remove all the curses imposed under the true fairyland, as for the curse above the true fairyland, the effect is greatly reduced. The most important thing is the third point, which is of little use to the foreign race, but it has a huge effect on the Qilin family. You know that the Qilin Clan has now lost the protection of the Qilin Divine Venerable, and the effect of all spiritual skills and soul skills that need the support of the Qilin Divine Power has been greatly reduced, but burning the Qilin Divine Blood can make the clansmen obtain the Qilin Divine Power in a short period of time, so that they can use all their strength to fight against the enemy. I heard the uncle say that the great battle on the migration path of the Qilin clan is thanks to the existence of the Qilin divine blood, and our clan can hold on until the holy order is issued. The Qilin Divine Blood is one drop less, and it is particularly precious, even the grandfather can't use it without permission, and it needs to be decided by him and the five elders together. The top three in this hunting event are one of the ways to obtain it, the first place is three drops of divine blood, the second place is two drops of divine blood, and the third place is one drop of divine blood. Uncle Ji Yulin has won the first place several times, and he has obtained a lot of Qilin Divine Blood, so he has a lot of harvest every time he hunts, and I don't know if anyone can surpass him this time. Ji Xiaocao explained in detail.
"I see, one more drop of divine blood in the battle, the strength of the Qilin clan can be greatly improved, which is equivalent to one more life. And it's no wonder they're so aggressive. Ye Xiao muttered in his heart, this Ji Yulin is still in the realm of all things with so much Qilin divine blood, it can be seen that his talent is limited, is it a bit tyrannical, but this is the rule of the Qilin clan, and it is not something he can intervene in.
"In this operation, in addition to the elite team, a total of 22 teams participated in the hunt. Twenty-second place, Ji Wuxian and Ji Xiaoliang, have a total of one hundred and seven points! Although they are the first from the bottom, there are only two of them, and the average number of points per person exceeds 50, which is worthy of praise. A special reward for Ji is a disease-free spirit weapon gun, and a storage prop for Ji Xiaoliang. Ji Hao announced.
Everyone in the audience, except for those who already knew the inside story, all gasped, the two young people who cultivated in the Qi refining period exceeded fifty points per person, could they have managed to deal with two low-level soul beasts? Even Ji Wushu glanced at his younger brother deeply, with a look of surprise.
Ji Wuxian was not very happy, but the clan actually rewarded him with a medium-grade spirit spear, which he did not expect. And Ji Xiaoliang on the side was ecstatic, he had long wanted a storage treasure, and even did not hesitate to steal it, but he didn't expect to get his wish this time with Ji Wuxi. And one hundred and seven points minus four points of contribution points, there are still one hundred and three points left, which is a lot of wealth.
"Twenty-first, Ji Sanchang team, a total of one hundred and thirty-four points... Ji Sanchang's team has a total of eighteen people, and because he was besieged by two soul beasts, he sacrificed one person, and he hung the lottery early, and then his luck was extremely bad and he didn't gain much, but this is also the result of your usual laziness, which is worth reflecting on!"
"Twentieth place, Ji Sanyuan team, with a total score of one hundred and fifty points. They were also besieged by three soul beasts, but fortunately no one died, but they also lost their combat power in advance and were eliminated. You have to reflect on why you fell into the siege of the three soul beasts, but you can't be so careless. Ji Hao continued to comment.
Everyone listened silently, but some people noticed a hint of abnormality, "Why didn't you hear the names of Ji Xiaocao and Ye Xiao?" Could it be that their results are too embarrassing, and Ji Hao excluded them in order to protect their face?"
