Chapter 261: Sacrificial Ceremony
Although I don't know whether the immortals in the forest exist in their world, Gao Jingfei, the Holy Spirit of the White Deer, can confirm that it exists, because he has also heard of the legend of the blue wolf and white deer in this world, and it should obviously have a corresponding sacred, as for whether it is the two from another world, it is unknown.
The sacrificial ritual taught to him by the immortals in the forest was to sacrifice to the Great Sage of the White Deer, who was worshiped by their sect, and this set of rituals could also be used to sacrifice to all the gods who also belonged to the natural sequence and controlled the authority of nature.
Because the belief of the white deer comes from the blue wolf and white deer that were once believed in by the grassland and northern peoples, it belongs to the primitive worship of the natural spirit, and in the words of Western fantasy, it is a part of the natural pan-consciousness, or Gaia consciousness, and there is not much difference between sacrificing him and sacrificing the natural avenue.
If it is replaced by other Daomen in Middle-earth, the target of the sacrifice may be changed to the honorific titles of Donghua Emperor, Qingdi, Aoki Shenjun, and Eastern Prince.
In any case, these deity names were produced by the worship of nature by the ancients, and represent a part or most of the general consciousness of nature.
The initial function of this sacrificial ritual was to make sacrifices to the natural avenue and the White Deer Holy Spirit and receive the blessings of the Holy Spirit. Later, after being modified by the immortals in the forest, it was changed to a reward that could also directly pray to the White Deer Holy Spirit or natural consciousness to obtain power blessings and other rewards.
However, it is necessary to prepare some necessary materials before the ceremony begins, which are not difficult to find, but some are not common.
Gao Jingfei directly asked the clerk guarding the door to explain, and in less than half an hour, a large bag of things was delivered.
Although these clerks have little combat effectiveness, their housekeeping abilities are definitely full of skill trees, not to mention ordering them to buy something, even difficult skills such as cooking and making clothes are also proficient.
Don't look at them as if they are doing the work of serving people, and they are often more dangerous, but people's wages and benefits are far higher than those of ordinary white-collar workers, and even higher than some so-called gold-collar workers, after all, many social elites who earn millions a year can't afford to buy a house in the four first-tier cities!
However, the benefits of these people include the possibility of taking out a loan at the best price to buy a suite in the area where the unit is located for a certain number of years.
The social division of labor is different, and there is no need to look down on or envy it.
After the staff had all the materials he needed, Gao Jingfei set up the altar in the spacious living room.
The first is the four seasons of fresh fruit, which is very difficult in ancient times, and needs to be collected from all over the world, and it is not easy to preserve. But in modern times, even if you want fruit in the southern hemisphere, you can get it in the supermarket.
Then there are the branches with seven branches, preferably oak trees, which happen to be planted in the nearby neighborhood on the boulevards, which are similar to oak species and can be used as a substitute.
After searching for more than a dozen trees, he broke off a seven-branch tree that the staff had not had time to prune.
The former represents the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the latter represents the Seven Treasures Tree, which is not the well-known magic weapon of the Western saint portrayed in the country.
The theory of the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree has existed in the Xuanmen of Middle Earth since ancient times, symbolizing the divine tree that reaches the heavens and the authority of nature, and belongs to a sacrificial prop or ritual weapon used to communicate with the heavens by sacrificial witches in ancient times.
Zhang Jingsheng, who was awakened by his movements, looked at the altar in the room in surprise, and asked suspiciously:
"Xiaofei, what are you doing, do you want to open the altar? How is it different from my Daomen altar? ”
Gao Jingfei nodded:
"That's right, I've got a spell taught by the immortals, I'm going to try it and see if it works!"
Zhang Jingsheng was interested, and leaned over and asked, "Is it the Heavenly Mandate Spell that Hong Tianwang cursed to kill the officials of the Jin Kingdom?" ”
"Well, my brother, Brother Zhang, and Brother Yu are busy chasing down those outsiders, so I'm also here to see if I can catch those rats through spells!"
Zhang Jingsheng gave a thumbs up when he heard this.
"Come on Xiaofei, I'm very optimistic about you!"
Gao Jingfei's expression became solemn, first went to the faucet to get his hands in the well, and then put on a rare Xuanhe feather robe that had not been used, and then brought the antler crown given by the immortals, which itself was the horn shed by the natural spirit, which may increase the success rate of the ceremony.
Under the watchful eyes of several other people, he stood in front of the altar and first lit the sacrificial fire with spiritual power.
The sacred fire used by the ancient witches to hold ceremonies is not an ordinary fire, there are several kinds of existence, and the high-end one even has a kind of holy fire fueled by luck and soul, and the simplest is to burn a kind of incense wood with a special aroma.
Even the incense wood is not easy to find in modern times, and the immortals suggest that lighting the lamp with oil soaked in spices produced by other plants or animals can also be used as a substitute for the holy fire.
Therefore, the staff bought pure plant sandalwood essential oil for Gao Jingfei in the boutique, and mixed it with a certain proportion of alcohol, which became an oil lamp with good flammability and burn-resistance.
Next, Gao Jingfei looked at the four onlookers with some embarrassment, and what embarrassed him was that such a ritual from northern shamanism generally requires singing and dancing to complete the pre-requirements, just like the scene of dancing the gods in the sketch, of course, he only needs to dance and not sing this ceremony, which makes Gao Jingfei let go of half of his heart.
The teammates of their football team once went to KTV together and sang songs, and the scene was called a ghost crying wolf.
Gao Jingfei thought to himself that he was quite good in it, at least three out of five sentences were in tune, but after all, he had never learned to sing, so it didn't sound so pleasant.
Of course, Gao Jingfei will not dance awkwardly in front of the three girls, it is comparable to a large-scale social death scene!
Although he has good physical coordination and a near-perfect figure, he has also not learned to dance, at most he does radio gymnastics at school, and his extracurricular hobbies for the first ten years are on football.
If you really dance awkwardly in front of others like convulsions, then the character design is estimated to collapse!
Fortunately, this ceremony does not require a dance, does not seek to dance more excitingly, or even requires real dancing, only a simple awkward dance or similar movements, the key is to be sincere!
In other words, it is completely feasible for him to play a set of tai chi on the spot or dance a set of broadcast gymnastics.
Therefore, Gao Jingfei chose the set of Xiyi swordsmanship that he had not been proficient in since he learned it by hand.
Seeing that Gao Jingfei didn't step on the gang or chant a spell or anything, but took a wooden sword and played in front of the altar, Zhang Jingsheng, who was a serious Taoist heir, was stunned.
"Is this a sword refining?"
The other three girls also watched the excitement with interest. Snack merchant Shannie had already taken out the spiritual food provided in the room and ate it while watching the excitement.
A set of Xiyi swordsmanship ended, and Gao Jingfei's whole person entered a special state of excitement and emptiness.
Unexpectedly, after playing a set of swordsmanship, there was no imaginary embarrassment, he unexpectedly comprehended some of the true meaning of Xiyi's swordsmanship, although the overall is still a little incoherent, but it is unexpectedly very charming, and the three girls and Zhang Jingsheng who watched from the sidelines were relishing.
After the sword dance, Gao Jingfei gathered his mind, reverently recited silently, and prayed to the Great Sage of Bailu in this world.
I instinctively felt the aroma of the essential oil lamp go up the air, disappear out of thin air three feet above my head, and lead to an unknown level.
Gao Jingfei knew that this was the first part of the ceremony, so he hurriedly raised the Qibao Miao Tree with one hand and the Yuan Zhu with the other hand to worship the altar, and then felt that a great existence in the dark put his "eyes" on him.
The feeling is like a person standing under a skyscraper and looking up at the top of the building, although the description is not comprehensive, Gao Jingfei can't find more words.
"Fengtian Blessed Spirit White Deer Great Sage is above, and the disciple has the guidance of the immortals in the forest, and I ask the Great Sage to bless the disciple to refine this sacrificial vessel safely......"
Gao Jingfei prayed, and then felt that the pressure seemed to become much calmer, and suddenly an inexplicable force linked his consciousness with the Yuan Zhu in his hand.
Gao Jingfei only felt that his mind seemed to be closely connected to this shining orb, and it felt as if this thing was another limb or organ of his.
