Chapter 63: Raven Ritual

In the early morning, the early sun breaks through the fog.

The first believer of the Raven Sect, since bidding farewell to Zhao Huai, has not been idle, leading the mighty team to swim around the inner and outer cities of Jinzhou.

I didn't let go of a street, an alley, and turned it all over.

After a morning's hard work, I finally followed a lot of people behind, but most of them looked yellow and thin, dressed in rags, and clearly looked like homeless people, and there were also a very small number of people, who were dressed more luxuriously, looked more normal, and had interest and curiosity in their eyes.

"Everybody, come with me."

The leader turned to the crowd and smiled gently.

He led the people through the streets to an open compound, which was located at the junction of the inner and outer cities, and the area was very empty.

The compound is just the tip of the iceberg, here is actually a mountain villa, the villa includes the courtyard, the stack house, the ancestral hall and other places, this villa was originally a former Taoist ruins, when the war is in chaos, the Taoist temple is barren and chaotic, the dead are dead, the escape is escaped, after the Raven Sect settles in, after repair, it finally restores the style of the past.

The leader walked in front, passed through the compound, and came to an ancestral hall.

The center of the ancestral hall is a lacquered bronze statue of a crow's head and a human body, stepping on the clouds, three heads and six arms, up to more than ten meters, the crow's head has a sharp gaze, looking far ahead, the human body is strong, and the six arms on the back hold various weapons.

"This is the Raven Immortal we worship."

The leader of the believers stood still in front of the bronze statue, bowed respectfully, and explained with a smile.

"Boom!"

The melodious sound of the bell sounded, and the depths of the villa burst into bursts of prayers.

Seeing the confusion in the eyes of everyone present, the leader of the believers said in a reassuring tone: "This is the time for the ceremony, and the holy woman is leading the members of the sect to pray for blessings. ”

"What ritual? Who is the Holy Maiden? ”

A man in the team asked curiously.

The leader of the believers replied with a smile: "As long as you enter the ceremony, you can become a member of the real Raven Sect." ”

"As for the Holy Maiden, you'll find out later."

Everyone descended into the deepest part of the lodge and came to a temple.

The space in the temple was large, and there was a woman surrounded by a crowd of raven believers.

The woman was dressed in a loose black robe with a silver raven pattern, a brass bell on her bare feet on her left, a white veil and silver hair hanging out of the robe.

Even with a veil, those extremely beautiful eyes are quite suffocating.

"This is our holy woman, who came from Kyoto to preside over the ceremony."

The leader of the believers smiled and introduced.

The woman, who was called the Holy Maiden, glanced at the people who had come here with a shocked and uncertain face, and said in a loud voice:

"Welcome to join the Raven Sect, and from now on, we will be a family."

The voice was hoarse, but not cold, but very gentle and polite, like a spring breeze, as if there was a demagogic power.

When everyone heard this voice, their hearts calmed down, and there were even men in the team who were directly fascinated, staring at her and refusing to let go.

After saying this, the woman in the center turned around again and looked to the other side.

There is a long table, ten meters long, full of all kinds of dishes, fragrant rice, roasted whole pig, steamed fish, roasted duck with sauce, barbecued deer breast and other meats, and many fruit snacks to count.

Some people have already feasted on the table, pulled out a goose leg, and gnawed it recklessly, eating with a mouth full of oil.

These people are obviously the same as the gang of people who came, they were all recruited from outside.

The hungry homeless people in the team swallowed hard as they watched, their eyes full of envy, but they were also very afraid of the black and oppressive believers around them.

Seeing their demeanor, the woman in the center showed a knowing smile and said softly:

"Go, eat, the ceremony officially begins."

After saying this, a large number of hungry people in the team could not bear it for a long time, and rushed over one by one like crazy, ran extremely fast, and began to enjoy the meal.

At this time, the head of the believers came to the holy woman and respectfully said:

"Holy Maiden, the number of people this time should be enough."

"Not enough.

The black-robed woman said expressionlessly.

"The more people, the better, and the crow fairy needs more faith."

"Forgive my subordinates for being stupid, what is the use of needing so many people now, these homeless people may not be able to become powerful."

After hearing this, the black-robed woman said lightly: "You didn't have long been in the sect before you became the hall master, and it's normal to not know some things, these homeless people are of great use to us." ”

"Whether it is the power of the Crow Immortals or the incense that overturned the fortunes of the Great Xia Kingdom, these homeless people are indispensable, in other words, they are the source of our strength."

After hearing this, the leader of the believers understood a little, he glanced at the jackdaw totem above his head quite reverently, and said in awe: "Lord Crow Immortal helped me break through the realm, without him, there would be no me today." ”

The black-robed woman didn't look at him again, but asked a disciple beside her.

"The ceremony is ready."

"The Holy Maiden of Qiqi is all ready."

The disciple nodded vigorously.

It's been a long time.

The people who were gobbling it up were almost finished, the food on the table was swept away, and the plates were shiny.

"Let's start the ceremony."

At the sound of an order, the surrounding ravens dispersed, leading the crowd to the center of the main hall.

Many people looked around curiously, not knowing what this ritual was all about.

The black-robed woman was intertwined with a faint silver true yuan, and the air around her suddenly became cold.

In the dim hall, the body of the black-robed woman slowly rose, like a rising sun, and I saw a faint blue arc flash in her eyes, and she said softly:

"Burst."

An incomparable brilliance emanated from the ground of the main hall, and the complicated formation inscription finally appeared at this time.

Everyone looked at the jackdaw totem overhead, in awe.

Everyone stood in it, like ants, in the center of the main hall, there was a huge ball of light suspended in the air, and in the dazzling light, it seemed that a phantom of a jackdaw could be faintly seen.

After the formation was opened, the invisible power of faith was removed from everyone's bodies.

Enter the glowing jackdaw totem.

At this moment, the ravens did not dare to say anything, and knelt on the ground one by one, bowing reverently.

Then the black-robed woman recited the incantation and initiated the second part of the mysterious ritual.

Clusters of blue light escaped into everyone's bodies, causing great changes.

"My head hurts! Something seems to have come in! ”

"It's so itchy! What's grown! ”

"What the hell is wrong with me!"

The crowd began to wail and cry bitterly, and a complex number of sigils grew on each of them, and the sigils were outlined together in the shape of a jackdaw.

These people were all branded as ravens, the sigils on the surface of their bodies flickered, and their eyes changed.

The muscles are inexplicably swollen, and the green tendons are bulging, as if the whole body has been improved a lot, this is another method of the Raven Sect, exchanging life for faith.

What burns is life, and what is gained is power.

After a long time, the ceremony ended, and the black-robed woman looked at the people below who had been reborn, nodded with satisfaction, and chuckled:

"Welcome to the Raven Cult."

The people in the team, one by one, had fanatical eyes, as if they had been brainwashed, and shouted loudly:

"Believe in the Raven Fairy! Destroy Great Xia! Take the country! ”
