"The major event of building the country is only to worship and Rong!"

"Chinese civilization, the first priority is sacrifice, it began in ancient times!"

……

For the Fenggon tribe, the fire sacrifice once in every ritual is the most important day for the entire tribe.

Ritual is the name used by Fenggong to count the time, and the Fenggong tribe holds a fire sacrifice every three hundred and sixty-five days and the moon sets, so the fire sacrifice is the node, and the duration of each fire sacrifice is the sacrifice.

Even in a primitive era when there was not enough food and clothing, it was necessary to face death all the time, and the fire sacrifice also occupied the supreme position in the hearts of the tribesmen.

The children of the tribe were to be kept together at the beginning of the sacrifice to avoid the ignorance and fearlessness of the children desecrating their gods.

Because on this day, they will invite the "divine fire" from the holy place at the top of the peak.

And Fengxi, the day I've been waiting for is finally coming!

……

this day.

Feng Xi woke up very early, lay on the turf, opened his eyes wide, stared at the dark roof of the cave in a daze, and for a while seemed to lose his mind and remained motionless.

It wasn't long before he sat up and let out a deep breath.

Reached out and clenched his fist.

Today he can finally participate in the fire festival!

Coming to this world, although I learned about the magic of the "divine fire" in the tribe through various means, I have never seen it.

It's not that he didn't think about getting in touch with the Divine Fire in advance, it's just that the place where the Divine Fire is enshrined is guarded by the clansmen at all times.

In addition to the leader Hua Xu, the time when the tribesmen were able to see the majesty of the divine fire was the annual fire festival.

The fire sacrifice is sacred, and the people do not allow the child to cause trouble, even if he is the son of the chief.

And this year's fire festival is the first time Fengxi has participated!

The scenes of the twelve ritual tribes turned from his mind, ordinary clansmen, the mysterious identity of his sister suspected of hiding his Amhuaxu, the fire-colored light curtain that guarded the tribe, and the "divine fire" that has always been worshiped for the tribe......

"Perhaps, today, I can start to uncover the mysterious corner of the Great Wilderness!"

Feng Xi took a deep breath and suppressed the emotions that were almost pouring out of his chest.

What had been what he had been searching for was now just one step away from him.

As we approached the entrance to the cave, a gust of wind with moist moisture blew in my head.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, Fengxi was stunned to find that it had been pouring rain outside, and the earth was shrouded in a dense curtain of rain, and the water vapor was blown into the cave by the wind.

"Sure enough, again... Under... Rain... Finish! ”

It seems that there is a mysterious force in the shadows, and each fire sacrifice is held in a downpour, and it has never changed.

"Rain...... Shenhuo ......"

Feng Xi muttered to himself silently in his heart, looking at the sky with a faint gaze,

"Maybe there's some connection between the two!"

"Brother!"

Nozomi's voice suddenly sounded from beside him, interrupting Fengxi's thoughts,

"Brother can finally participate in the fire festival today!"

I saw Xi running over with a big leaf, throwing himself into Fengxi's arms, two small hands shook off the leaves on the top of his head, hugged his neck, and said happily.

"Finally ......"

When Fengxi heard this, the expectations that had been pouring out were gone, and he looked at his sister who was almost hanging on himself, and there was almost nowhere to complain about the sadness in his heart.

"Why is it that my sister has been able to participate in every sacrifice since she was born, but I, who is also the son of Hua Xu, can only wait honestly until now!"

The sadness in Fengxi's heart, Xi naturally didn't know, she was still happy that her brother was able to participate in the fire festival.

Where would I have thought that her words made Brother suddenly think that the two had always been treated differently, and the joy in his heart turned into sadness!

"Brother...... Elder brother! What happened to you? ”

A small white hand waved in front of Feng Xi's eyes.

"It's fine!"

Coming back to his senses and wiping away his non-existent tears, Fengxi gave his sister a reluctant smile, ripped off a large leaf from the entrance of the cave, and then held it above his head with one hand and walked down the mountain with Xi in the other.

……

At this time, a large open space under the mountain was built with a ten-zhang altar made of wood.

It is not so much an altar as several large pieces of wood staggered together, on which a large stone pot is shelved.

"This is the altar!"

Feng Xi looked at the altar in front of him, which was too simple to be simple, and was disappointed.

The altar used for sacrifice, Fengxi has not never seen it, from the earthen platform built of civil engineering and bricks to the Temple of Heaven enshrined by the dynasty.

And the few pieces of wood and the large stone cauldron in front of him completely subverted the fantasy in Fengxi's heart.

"Fire, pot, sure enough, this is the core obsession of human existence!"

Feng Xi secretly slandered in his heart, the shelf is there, the pot is there, and when the fire is also invited, the meat will be missing!

As soon as Feng Xi thought of this, he saw several tribesmen not far away carrying a few huge beasts here!

"I'm really going to cook it!"

Staring at the pig-like beasts, Feng Xi muttered,

"Pork bone broth? Big hooves? ……”

"What are you talking about?"

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in my ears,

"Eminem!"

Feng Xi was full of excitement, turned his head, looked at Hua Xu who came over, and hurriedly said,

"Eminem, I was just thinking about how the fire festival can help everyone!"

At this time, Hua Xu was wearing a fiery red animal skin, with a bird feather on his head that was also fiery color, and the whole person looked like a flame.

"Brother he lied, he was hungry and wanted to eat!"

Just as Fengxi praised his wit, Xi on the side pointed to the "pig" carried over by several clansmen and spoke.

Feng Xi smiled, stiffly turned his head to look at his "smart" sister who exposed him,

"How could I forget this little traitor!"

"Xi, this is the first big sacrifice you have participated in, and you can't do it like before, understand?"

Hearing this, Feng Xi, who was originally nervous, suddenly felt relieved, he was really afraid that Hua Xu would lock him up again and prevent him from participating in the big sacrifice!

Fortunately, Hua Xu didn't care too much about it this time, just a faint warning.

"Come with me!"

Hua Xu walked over and took Xi's little hand, and said to Fengxi.

……

Next to the altar, there is also a rectangular wooden platform.

At this time, Feng Xi was standing beside Hua Xu with Xi, silently looking down.

Around the altar, all the clansmen got up and stood together in a huddle, but they were silent and did not look at each other.

Fengxi glanced at it and found that the clansmen were all carefully dressed.

Originally, the grass skirt or all kinds of animal skin clothes on the body were changed, and they were replaced by beast clothes with the same fire as Hua Xu, and some of them also outlined flame-like marks.

I also washed my body carefully, and my dirty hair was gone, and it was covered with bone ornaments, and it rang as soon as I walked.

Although they couldn't say a word, the expressions on everyone's faces were excited, and they looked at the "stone pot" on the altar, their eyes were full of reverence and faith.
