Chapter 35: The Covenant of Sacrifice
The sky is dawning, the morning light is brilliant, and the morning glow is golden.
The blue wolf village was lively early, the whole village was dressed in new clothes, as gathered in front of the renovated main altar at the head of the village as during the spring festival, the faces were excited and solemn, especially some teenagers were even more vigorous, all of them straightened their waists, their chins were raised high, and their eyes collided with each other, and the sparks were rising.
Today is a big day, the Blue Wolf Village is about to usher in thirteen new Sacrifice Spirits to join, and from now on, the Blue Wolf Village will have fourteen Sacrifice Spirits, becoming the largest village within a radius of thousands of miles.
The old village chief looked extremely strict and serious, and waited quietly for the arrival of the auspicious time with all the villagers present, and when the sun rose, the whole sacrifice officially began.
"It's auspicious!"
Two boys and girls of five or six years old, dressed in close-fitting red jackets, stood on both sides of the altar, with cinnabar on their foreheads, pink makeup and jade, bright and lovely, and sang in unison when the morning sun rose.
The old village chief had a stern face, took the torch handed by the sacrificial deacon, stepped forward and put it into the fire pit under the altar, "boom", the whole fire pit was ignited instantly, the bechanting fire rose against the rising sun, the sparks danced wildly, scattered in all directions, and there was more smoke curling, solemn and solemn.
"Sacrifice to the spirits, please!"
The old village chief's eyes were shining, his head was raised and he drank softly, and his voice was like a yellow bell and a big lu, which easily spread throughout the entire village, and at this moment he did not have a trace of old age, as if he had returned to the peak moment of decades ago.
"Sacrifice to the spirits, please!"
Several clan elders standing behind the old village chief shouted in unison, their hoarse voices carrying the antiquity and toughness of iron and blood, they represented the glory and roots of the village, and now saluted the priests with the most respectful attitude.
"Sacrifice to the spirits, please!"
Immediately afterwards, the rest of the village shouted in unison, the sound converged, the sound shook for hundreds of miles, and all of them rose in blood and blood, connected into a piece, very imposing.
The three invitations to the spirit are the strictest invitations in the sacrificial covenant ceremony, and they will not be used.
"Whew~"
In an old wolf howl, the old priest of the wolf village led the little wolf to appear, it slowly walked up to the high platform with staggering steps, although the hair was almost gone, the muscles were relaxed, and the old state was exposed, but its expression was still solemn, and it stood still solemn after walking to the center of the main altar, looking at the black crowd under the altar, its thoughts were wandering, and it seemed to return to the scene two hundred years ago.
That year, it had just reached adulthood, had just climbed to the pinnacle of its life, and its blood was at its peak, defeating an old black wolf who had dominated the periphery of the Heavenly Wolf Mountain in the previous one, with a radius of hundreds of miles without any opponent, and could be called the king of the fierce beasts.
That year, it was in its prime, desperately longing for the outside world, but in the end, it followed the will of its ancestors, and made a contract with the blue wolf village on the high platform in a solemn sacrificial ceremony, from then on you worship me, I bless you, blessings and woes depend on each other, life and death together.
Two hundred years have passed, and the children who once signed the contract have long since turned into loess, and now it is no longer young, its blood and blood are exhausted, and it is about to die, and the hairs that were once smoother than silk have withered, and the sharp claws and teeth have also fallen off.
After going through the wind and rain, fighting fiercely in all directions, he has been guarding the flame of inheritance in silence, and the pain of his body is tossing and turning in the twilight.
"Bye!"
The old village chief's eyes were red, sobbing and roaring, he was not the oldest one in the village, but he was the one with the deepest friendship with the old blue wolf, fifty years ago on that starry night, he didn't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth, he wanted to follow the footsteps of his ancestors, and he was trapped in the herd of beasts, between life and death, that bloody and crazy, fighting to the death, and the cyan figure that pulled him back from the ghost gate became the deepest memory of his life.
Now, it is old, and the sturdy figure in its memory has become faltering, and it can no longer give strong protection as before, but it has always faithfully fulfilled its duty, and whenever there is danger, even if it is desperate for its life, it must stand at the forefront and stop outside the village.
The old village chief looked excited, knelt heavily on the ground, and saluted the old wolf on the altar.
Standing in the crowd, Cangye and all the villagers solemnly kowtowed to the old wolf, thanking it for its protection and protection of the village for more than 200 years.
"Bye-bye!"
The old village chief's voice was hoarse, tears rained down, and after getting up, he led everyone to kneel down and bow again, and every movement was meticulous.
"Three bows!"
After three consecutive bows, the old wolf led the little wolf to stagger down the altar and left, and the old village chief calmed down a little, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Invite the spirit!"
Out of the ranks in the night, standing side by side with the old village chief, his whole body was full of qi and blood, his tongue was full of spring thunder, and he shouted: "Please guest Ling!"
When he landed, there was a huge elephant roar from outside the village, followed by a lion roaring and a tiger roaring, a leopard hissing, a wolf howling and a python soaring, and the rich evil qi instantly rushed into the village, as if solidifying, and the villagers were breathless.
Immediately afterward, these behemoths appeared one after another, and the golden-hoofed white elephant appeared as the first beast to promise to sign a contract after being subjugated by the night.
Perhaps knowing that this ceremony was very solemn, this cunning white elephant was rarely honest, and walked in step by step from outside the village and ascended to the main altar with steady steps. Even though it had regained its strength, its sheer weight made the ground tremble with every step it took to fall.
Although the villagers had seen this top-level beast yesterday, after all, few had the courage to approach it, and today they were so close that they could even smell the fishy breath coming from the white elephant, which made everyone hold their breath and their faces were red.
Immediately after the golden hoof and white elephant appeared was the golden lion, who did not change his fierce and powerful demeanor, especially the circle of flowing and flying manes was even more powerful and domineering, making the teenagers almost burst their eyes, and the anger between each other was even stronger.
After the black-veined white tiger, blue-eyed golden eagle, shadow leopard, double-headed vajra python, and green wood wolf appeared one by one, completely detonating the atmosphere of the scene, if it were not for the solemnity and solemnity of the ceremony, everyone would shout and scream to vent the excitement and pride in their hearts.
When the thirteen top beasts all appeared, the old village chief pressed the excitement in his heart, solemnly put on a set of ancient and mysterious and colorful feather coats with the help of the two sacrificial deacons, stepped forward a few steps, and stepped into the fire pond, dancing in the raging flames, and singing a string of simple and jerky syllables in his mouth.
The fireworks are swaying, and there is an old back in the rising flames that is staggering and dancing, the dance posture is not beautiful, but rough, old and eternal, the line of sight passes through the firelight, such as the reversal of years, as if seeing the scene when the ancient ancestors made a contract with those powerful and terrifying ancient beasts thousands of years ago.
The sound of the sacrifice is raised, there is a faint fall of the ceiling, the golden lotus is in full bloom, there seems to be a supreme lord listening in the void, and a mysterious and mysterious breath is diffused in all directions of the altar.
The top murderous creatures on the altar stood still at this time, as if they understood the thoughts expressed in the sacrificial sound, and the eyes that were originally full of wild ferocity were full of solemnity and solemnity at this time.
Half an hour later, with the last high-pitched sacrificial voice of the old village chief, everyone under the altar felt a sinking body, and the blood all over their bodies was surging involuntarily, and there seemed to be invisible silk threads emerging in the dark, connecting them with the old village chief in the fire, and nearly a thousand people seemed to merge into one at this moment.
"The way of heaven is clear, the sun and the moon are together, Feng'er blood eats, bless my blood, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, life and death are shared, deed!"
The old village chief stood still suddenly, drank violently in the firelight, took out an extra handful of ancient bone daggers in his hand, slashed his chest, and threw out thirteen heartfelt blood and flew towards the thirteen top-level fierce beasts.
At the same time, the thirteen fierce creatures on the altar roared one after another, their bodies were light, their blood veins fluctuated, and they were wrapped in dazzling light clusters one by one, and all kinds of divine light were brightly intertwined, and they were brilliant, and in an instant, a scorching and fragrant essence blood flew out from their respective light clusters, which merged with the thirteen distracted blood thrown by the old village chief.
"Boom~"
At this moment, there was a thunderclap explosion in the clear sky, the heavens and the earth shook, and there was a faint heavenly sound singing: "Serve blood and food, bless the blood, blessing and blessing, life and death, the sun and the moon, the heavenly way Zhao, the contract!"
Under the action of a mysterious force, thirteen clusters of molten blood suddenly rose into the air, and then exploded, and the blood-colored mist dispersed, enveloping the entire village, and then falling like a silk rain, spreading every inch of the village.
At the same time, everyone in the village felt as if they had a mysterious connection with the thirteen fierce beasts on the high platform, and the previous fears and fears had disappeared completely.
"Celebrate!"
The old village chief walked out of the firelight, looking tired, but in high spirits, and roared, and the flames in the pond suddenly rose into the air, and then exploded with a "boom", like a beautiful flower blooming in the air.
Suddenly, the entire Blue Wolf Village fell into a sea of joy.
The celebration of the covenant of the spirits will last for three days, the signing of the covenant on one day, the blood giving on the next day, and the congratulation of relatives and friends on the third day.
Although the Wolf Village has not held a contract ceremony for hundreds of years, the ancient tradition of the village records the ritual steps and the day of the contract ceremony under the control of the old village chief and the clan elders.
After the signing ceremony, the whole village fell into a carnival, and the young people of the village had already carried buckets of hot beast blood and freshly slaughtered beasts to the altar to worship the spirits.
Under the altar, the men raised the wine altar, drank heartily, talked loudly, boasted to each other, the women sang and danced, the young people frolicked, and some of the bold ones followed the night close to the altar, carefully looking at the thirteen new sacrifice spirits who enjoyed the worship on the stage, and secretly wondered in their hearts what kind of sacrifice spirit blood they would fight for tomorrow.
The news that the Blue Wolf Village was going to sign a new sacrifice spirit had been released a few days ago, which caused a great sensation among the villages on the outskirts of the entire Heavenly Wolf Mountain, making the Blue Wolf Village, which had been on the cusp of the storm for a period of time, once again become the focus of attention.
