Chapter Eighty-Five: God's Blessing
The man was dressed in a paddle with a simple garment, and the sleeves and hem of the shirt were covered with strips of brightly colored cloth. These strips of cloth were sewn by the believers as gifts and tributes when the Great Witch invited the gods to descend to the gods, and they also represent the achievements of the Great Witch.
There are bells, small bronze mirrors, pearls, turtle and snake bronze ornaments hanging from his waist.
On his head is a deer-antlered hat, and his face is covered with a mask and a colored tassel on his hat.
As she walked up the steps, the bells and bronze mirrors on her waist jingled.
"The Great Witch is here!"
Someone in the crowd whispered, and then the cheers and worship of the people outside the temple passed through the high stone wall and came in the direction of the altar.
The man stretched out his hands and pressed down slightly, "Quiet." ”
The deep, slightly hoarse voice easily suppressed the wave of sound and echoed in the hearts of the heavens, the earth and the people.
This voice is different from the timbre of ordinary people, melodious with a bit of desolation and a bit of sacredness.
Inside and outside the temple, the deserted people suddenly fell silent.
He Lingjiang looked up at the high platform slightly, her eyes narrowed slightly, as if she wanted to see the face inside through the mask of divine nobility, no sorrow and no joy.
The big witch who vomited blood just now, can he really insist on presiding over this blessing sacrifice?
The sacrifice is ready, and the sacrifice is about to begin.
The man grasped the drum in his left hand and the whip in his right hand, and first bowed to the four directions to summon the gods, then chanted prayers, and danced with his feet. The bells and bronze mirrors around the waist collide with each other during the dance, and the brass bells around the altar also hang with it.
However, in the midst of so many sounds, the man's voice was exceptionally clear, and the ancient tones echoed between heaven and earth.
As her movements continued to speed up, the voice of her chanting became more and more urgent, and suddenly a trace of cool rain slowly drifted down from the sky, and people couldn't help but hold their breath, knelt on the ground, raised their heads and opened their arms to bathe in the rain and dew of heaven and earth.
The chanting had stopped at some point, except for the brass bells swaying slightly in the wind.
It was a dazzling sunny day overhead, but there was a breeze and drizzle around him. A brilliant rainbow appeared on the horizon.
The crowd couldn't help but burst into cheers, the rainbow is auspicious, it can be seen that today's blessing has more blessings than usual.
"God bless the desolate people, there will be no disaster!" The man on the high platform raised his voice and said, she performed the spell, and the voice spread far away.
The rest of the people also cheered: "God bless the desolate people, there will be no disaster!" God bless the desolate people, smooth and disaster-free! ”
He Ling Jiang shook his head in his heart, but it was a drizzle when the witch temple prayed for blessings, and the sun happened to appear today, which showed the strange phenomenon of a sunny day, a drizzle, and a long rainbow in the sky.
But for these people who believe in the Great Witch, this is a blessing of God, a symbol of good luck and no disaster.
It's a pity that for most of the past six months, the deserted tribe really can't say how smooth it is.
Thus the prayer ceremony ended, and the man on the high platform stepped down the steps, and after bowing to the leader of the desolate people, he was about to return to his dwelling.
He Lingjiang was behind Tidu, bowed his head and stepped forward half a step, and then whispered a few words to him under Pei You's cover.
Tidu raised his eyebrows slightly, and then stepped forward towards the man according to his words, and stretched out his hand in front of her to block slightly: "Da Wu and stay, I don't know if Da Wu is free today?" I happen to have something to ask the Great Witch for advice......"
The man stopped, still wearing a mask on her face, and did not speak when she heard Tytu's request, but shook her head slightly.
The witch attendant beside her stepped forward and replied for her: "Forgive me, the master of the Tidu Department, after presiding over the blessing of the gods today, the great witch is already tired and needs to cultivate for two days. If there is something wrong with the master of Tidu, please come back another day to find the great witch. ”
"But ......," said Tidu, before the man had already passed by him, and only the jingling sound of bells and bronze mirrors around her waist could be heard.
The sorcerer was the one He Lingjiang had seen before, and when he saw this, he only bowed to Titu and walked away.
Titu was about to catch up with him, but was stopped by the leader of the desolate people standing in front of him: "Titu, since the Great Witch is tired, you don't want to disturb her anymore." ”
"Even if you have doubts in your heart, you might as well wait for two days."
The leaders of the desolate people have spoken like this, even if they still want to ask again, they have to answer: "Yes, wolf lord." ”
When the head of the department next to him saw it, he couldn't help laughing loudly: "Tidu, what doubts do you have to find a great witch?" It's not that you don't know that in the past six months, except for presiding over blessing and sacrifice as usual, the Great Witch has rarely met outsiders. ”
"Yes. The great witch is now old, even if he has divine power, he should not pray for blessings and sacrifices. You have also seen the miracle of today's blessing, but it has never appeared before. You should be considerate...... If you really have any difficult puzzles in your heart, and you are anxious at this time, you might as well go to the witch. ”
The witch is the heir of the Great Witch.
Now this witch, twenty-two out of twenty, since the age of three, was selected by the Great Witch from the desolate people, raised by her since childhood, and taught by the Great Witch himself.
She is an extremely talented person, although she can't go beyond the Great Witch, but after all, she is still young, and she will not be far behind if she cultivates for more than ten years.
In the past six months, the great witch has lived in a simple place, and if there are any incurable diseases in the barren tribe, this witch has been invited to come out.
Tidu smiled: "It's because I'm in a hurry, if necessary, I'll go and ask the shrine maiden first......"
Now that the blessing ceremony has ended, the leader of the desolate people and the leaders of the tribe have each returned to their camps.
The drizzle gradually stopped, and the people who had been surrounding the witch temple gradually dispersed.
In one of the courtyards of the Witch Temple, the man in the witch suit made his way through the guards to a room with closed doors and windows.
She pushed open the door, and then she took off the mask on her face, slightly relieved.
Under the mask, there was a young face.
"How? Is it still going well? A hoarse voice came from the dimly lit room.
She hurriedly put down the mask in her hand, walked quickly to the side of the bed, leaned over and saluted respectfully to the person reclining on the bed: "Master, everything is going well today, don't worry." ”
On the top of the bed was an old woman with gray hair and wrinkled face. Due to the loss of qi and blood, her complexion was still a little gray, and she didn't look very good.
"That's fine......" she replied with a few gasps.
The young woman looked worried: "Master, your body is ......"
"It doesn't matter." The old woman coughed and said, "It's just that I'm old." You have done a good job of praying for blessings today. Let's step down......"
The young woman had no choice but to swallow the words in her mouth again, she bowed to the old woman, took off the god costume and hat of the great witch on her body, and then walked outside.
The sorcerer waiting by the door saw her, saluted her slightly, and then turned back into the house.
She sighed and walked out of the courtyard.
Inside the house, the witch waiter looked at the gray-looking old woman and asked respectfully, "Great Witch, everything is ready." You see, when will it start? ”
The old woman coughed lowly: "Just these days......"
Her body can't be dragged any longer.
